Tanyati Villa comes with a dedicated chef, so meals are cooked to order rather than served from a set menu. Herbs, vegetables and fruit come from the property's own organic gardens, supplemented by produce bought fresh from local markets; bread and ice cream are made on site. Breakfast can be taken overlooking the river, and dinners are served by candlelight beneath the open sky. The villa's balcony, deck and private lounge give several settings to choose from, so the meal moves to suit the moment rather than the other way round.
